Changing to 12 dis not resolve the problem. CHaning to channel 4 did. Note that the scan only shows 4 SSIDs even though a scan reveals nine in range, and the real problem could be a failure to allow sufficient channels to be viewable after the scan. >How-To-Repeat: Try to install on network where AP is on channel 13 (or there are more than 4 APs before the channel of the AP you want). >Fix: During install, all channels should be allowed, not just those permitted in the most restrictive jurisdictions, and the maximum number of APs/SSIDs displayed probably needs to exceed 12. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
